Race Issues

by La Shawn Barber Posted 10/02/13, 12:10 pm

I’ve written about my opposition to government racial preferences for years. Some might say it’s an unlikely position for someone like me who is supposed to benefit from such preferential treatment. But I consider those preferences patronizingly demeaning and unfair, and I believe they undermine the laudable and necessary goal of racial neutrality in government.

Television

I regularly watch a handful of TV shows and couldn’t care less whether they or their actors win awards. Although I haven’t watched an awards show in years, I’ve read that people complained about the lack of “diversity” at Sunday night’s Emmy Awards show. It might be wrong and rude, but I find infighting among liberal voters entertaining. With a “rainbow” coalition of ethnicities and sexual orientations all clamoring for protected-minority-victim-of-the-month status and pieces of the ever-shrinking government pie, hilarity ensues.

Syria

“Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer are deserted; they will be for flocks, which will lie down, and none will make them afraid. The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the LORD of hosts” (Isaiah 17:1-3).

Homosexuality

Walmart, the company with a “family-friendly” visitor center, has caved to the homosexual lobby, as other businesses will likely do in the weeks and months ahead. Beginning next year, the retail behemoth will offer health coverage to whomever an employee happens to be sharing living quarters with, gay or straight.

Religious Liberty

My family and I recently went on a shuttle bus tour of La Jolla, Calif., a sort of Beverly Hills of San Diego and one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. One of the stops was the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial. A cross, which sits atop a hill and reaches 29 feet, is part of a landmark that can be seen for miles. Before the trip, I didn’t know the place existed. While I wasn’t privy to the political leanings of my fellow tourists, the occasion was non-political and respectful.

While vacationing in San Diego last week, my family and I went to Sea World. As we entered the park, I noticed a large group of people wearing matching “Team Jesus” T-shirts. How bold, I thought. Christ front and center. Score one for religious freedom!
